On Saturday evening, we the old students of Fatima Jinnah Women University, met in Holiday Inn at high tea. All of us were classmates in the 1998-2001 batch of Masters in Computer Science. We were, by the way, the first batch of the university too.
The planning for the get together was going on for the past month or so. Finally it was decided to meet in Holiday Inn. Out of a class of around 60 only 8 of us could make it.
I don't blame the rest. Some were busy in their married lives. Some had kids that were ill. Many were not in the city. Maybe some were on the family way too. :-)
But we 8 had fun. Two among us 8 were the married ones. One even brought her cute daughter along. Two are about to get married this year. :-D It was good meeting after such a long time. It was fun chatting and exchanging notes about each others lives. Nadia Nazir, the CR of our class at that time, had made the arrangements. Booking the table, getting people together and all. She had done a great job.
The food was great too. I ate a lot. I was particularly interested in trying the 'gool gappay' there, and I did too. But their water (juice? whatever) was not that tasty. But anyways I got to have them. ;-)
I wish we could arrange such get togethers frequently. And I am hopeful that next time, there will be at least 16 girls around the table. :-)
